Analyze the location, schools, shopping etc.Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:37:59 -0700Answer by Kimberly RAmsayhttp://www.trulia.com/profile/kimberly-ramsay-renter-chicago-il-4826436/http://www.trulia.com/profile/kimberly-ramsay-renter-chicago-il-4826436/Thanks so much for all of your feedback.

There are all styles of homes to choose from, condo, single family, mansions, etc. The area is 10-12 minutes away from the downtown area, close to lake, and the Jackson Park golf course. Like every neighborhood in Chicago, South Shore can offer the best and worst of living in an urban environment. Come see for yourself how lovely and bustling the area is.Sat, 19 May 2012 11:38:10 -0700Answer by Pradamamahttp://www.trulia.com/profile/pradamama-other-chicago-heights-il-4834555/http://www.trulia.com/profile/pradamama-other-chicago-heights-il-4834555/The truth is the best place to raise your family in chicago is largely determined by budget. If I were advising my nieces I would tell them to check out the suburbs and then check the schools in those suburbs on great schools.com. Then I would select neighborhoods based on the great schools ratings so that their children got the best education possible.Sat, 19 May 2012 06:20:39 -0700Answer by Matt Laricyhttp://www.trulia.com/profile/matt-laricy-broker-near-north-side-chicago-il-213848/http://www.trulia.com/profile/matt-laricy-broker-near-north-side-chicago-il-213848/Only you can answer this question.
